Question. about the male torso.

[Soul]

So, I'm thin... I've tried bulking up but, it's like slamming my head against a wall.  I've seen fake male torsos on...Amazon (what can I say my shopping network is limited).  Has anyone bought male parts off there?  Torso or....penis wise?  Is that appropriate to say?  Feel free to have a good giggle at me..

Packer sweetie, they're called packers.

 

Anyway, bulking up on E is HARD. Don't expect to see results right away and you're not going to look like the guys in the gym. You can get bigger, but not that much bigger. I was AMAB, and have a pretty solid body-building routine. I still look like a girl. An athletic girl, but still a girl.

 

Of course that's what I was going for, so it's all good. If you want to bulk up your upper body, you (probably) need to change up your diet. Lots of vegetable protein. Cut way back on the carbs. Avoid anything processed. Then work extra hard on your upper body: Arms, back and chest. Not a lot of T in your system so you've got to work extra hard.

 

Outside the gym, use boxy clothes from the boy's department. That'll help you get the right "look."

I'm sorry that I can't help as far as products are concerned but I have (saddly) had success in the bulking department... that I am now trying to undo!  Anyway...  Jackie is on the money, hormones play the biggest role in hypertrophy.  Other than that, 90 percent of muscle growth happens in the kitchen.  Roughly .8-1 gram of protein per pound of your body weight is plenty, don't listen to the "bro" science guys who say 1.5-2.  That's just expensive and hard on your organs. 

 

Look up lean bulking or "main-gaining" you are going to want to be in a caloric surplus but you don't have to get fat.  

 

Also, beware social media whack jobs.  There are some diamonds in the rough to be sure but they are few and far between.

 

Vitruvian physique is good. I don't think he has any degrees (I could be wrong) but he uses peer reviewed studies and is pretty clear and concise.  I'd recommend him for diet stuff and general knowledge.

 

Athleanx has a hell of a resume, degrees and a pro sports background. Some of his content is filler/fluff but if want to learn about proper form and how to avoid injury, he is at the top of the list.

Good luck
